llll KSDWNI I'll Mill K 25, 1\\\\\ Cheating cases rise
More students than ever caught in 2002 violating the academic honor code
Zack Bridges
Staff Writer
UNCG saw a jump in the number
of students caught violating the aca-demic
honor code in 2002.
In the four years before the 2002-
2003 academic year the average
number of reported academic integri-ty
violations was 33.5; in 2002 the
number jumped to 52. a new record.
Despite the sudden jump, the fig-ure
is fairly low compared to other
N.C. universities. Appalachian State
had 67 reported cases last year, and
UNC Chapel Hill had 83 cases in the
2001-2002 school year.
"The number of reported cases is
not necessarily the number of people
cheating, but just the number of peo-ple
that get caught and are reported,"
said Brett Carter, Associate Director
of Student Conduct, suggesting that
cheating itself might not be on the
rise.
Because most incidences of cheat-ing
are resolved at the student-profes-sor
level, it is up to the professor to
report all incidences of academic
integrity violations if they are serious
enough. UNCG faculty are strongly
encouraged to report all incidences,
but are not required.
"Faculty come and go; and some
choose to report incidences and some
don't," said Carter.
If the case can't be resolved at the
student-professor level, it can take
form as a hearing before the academ-ic
honor court. The hearing takes
place before a panel of faculty, stu-dents
and advocates, who hear the
case and make a decision.
These hearings, however, don't
happen very often.
"There are only between three and
five cases a year that go on to a hear-ing,"
said Dr. Carol Disque. Vice
Chancellor for Student Affairs. "It is
very common for people to want to
get through the process as fast as pos-sible,
because they are so rattled at
being caught cheating."

UNCG officials have reported an increase in this and other violations of the honor code in 2002.
Coraddi to use 'pornographic' image
University officials warn against printing image after group fails to find printer; Coraddi staffplan
to try again with censored collage
Megan Karbley
Staff Writer
The latest issue of Coraddi,
UNCG's student literary magazine,
will feature original fiction, poetry,
art work and, quite possibly, censor
bars.
It's a compromise the magazine's
staff made when their cover image -
which features a young girl perform-ing
oral sex - was refused by printers
and came to the attention of
University officials.
The image, part of a collage of
other, non-pornographic artwork,
may or may not qualify as child
pornography.
"The problem we saw was that at
least one of the images to be pub-lished
appeared to display children
engaged in sexual activity," said Skip
Capone, University counsel.
"Possession of such material is also a
felony. Therefore, it was our advice
that these photographs not be pub-lished
in Coraddi."
Mike Serra, a UNCG student and
artist, submitted the image last spring
as an interior artwork piece for the
magazine. Coraddi staff chose the
piece for the cover. Serra talked with
Stefani Hobbick. then executive edi-
STAFF PHOTO I VALERIE
tor. and Shannon Myers, then pub-lishing
editor, about the possibility
that the piece may not go over well.
They decided to go with the artwork.
Serra said the inspiration for the art
came from a novel. Sapphire's Push.
"I wanted to reiterate some of the
themes in the book and amplify the
author's intended reaction to the
novel," said Serra, who said the
themes of the book included child
molestation. "I created this collage
with parenting magazines and barely
legal pornographic magazines to
illustrate the traumatic life of the
main character through the juxtaposi-tion
of the two types of images."
When the magazine was ready to be
published, Coraddi staff sent the draft
to several publishers in North
Carolina. After the magazine was
sent to University Publishers in
Chapel Hill. UNCG was informed
of Serra's artwork, and officials told
Coraddi staff that it could not be
used. Apparently no one at UNCG
had noticed the images before the
magazine was sent out to be printed,
according to Coraddi staff.
Myers, now executive editor, said
the printers never specifically told
them why the magazine could not be
printed and that the size of the cover
was too large.
"We were told that it was slightly
pornographic and the cover was
against University policy." said
Myers.
Asked whether UNCG censored
Coraddi, Myers said: "I do think they
did; however, I do not feel that it was
entirely wrong for them to do so. The
cover contains sensitive materials and
the magazine is produced entirely

Let me count the ways...
According to the student hand-book,
cheating is divided into several
different classifications:
* Cheating- Attempting to use unau-thorized
material during an examina-tion.
* Plagiarism- Intentionally or know-ingly
taking credit for the words of
another during an academic exercise.
* Falsification of information- The
falsification of information or a cita-tion
in an academic exercise.
